Modern Ikebana Materials Encyclopedia

The ultimate ikebana resource for teachers, students, and curious arrangers alike.

Overview

Visually stunning and deeply informative, this 856-page encyclopedia is a foundational reference book used by ikebana teachers and students across the world.

While the text is entirely in Japanese, don’t let that stop you—plant names are listed in Latin, and the hundreds of clear, full-color photographs make this an indispensable tool for anyone serious about floral art. You can easily search for a plant, see how it's used in compositions, and be guided by example—even if you don’t read Japanese.

“An ikebana teacher's best friend—rich with inspiration, clarity, and depth.”
